... The commute that is. I was a little concerned about the commute from Baltimore to Laurel and it's not so bad. Greg and I take completely different routes, but to be fair he's been leaving earlier than me so the traffic might be different.
Last night, Amelia just wasn't herself. She was very quiet and didn't seem all that interested in eating. We played with her for a little bit and then put her to bed. She didn't fuss or anything; it was very unlike her. But, this morning she is fine. I guess she was having a moment.
Ok, so I have a question for those that like to cook: How do you cook your hamburgers (if you're not cooking them on a grill)? Greg and I made hamburgers for dinner last night and he was going to broil them in the oven! I have never heard of that!! If I am unable to cook a hamburger on the grill I cook it in a pan, as I cooked them last night. In any event, the hamburgers were tasty (even for Greg) and we ate them on a bagel. Delicious!
The Condo Guy replied to my email and stated that he was going to shop around for a new washer/dryer since, it seems, the current one is the original and has had service calls in the past. Hooray! We get a new washer/dryer! I hope this one will be bigger than the current. I can't believe how small it is, yet huge! I will try to get pictures of it before it's replaced; even though we still don't know when we're going to have cable or Internet so who knows when the pictures are going to be uploaded.
Albeit Greg and I have only lived together, and on our own, for about four days, things are great! It's so weird to think about all that has occurred in the past five years and where I am now; when thinking in retrospect of who I was living with and where. Here's the break down:
May 2002 - May 2004 - Adam and I moved to Baltimore; first time living on my own and being with Adam every single day (from 1998-2002 we only saw each other on the weekends or on occasion one night during the week). Adam and I were engaged at the time we moved in but he still wanted to wait until we were married before we lived together. I felt differently and my argument won. Adam and I married on 08/08/03 and in May of 04 we moved again.
June 2004 - June 2006 - Adam and I moved to Glen Burnie. In May of 2005 Adam moves out and I continue living at Glen Burnie on my own. I was a little bit scared of living on my own. I didn't know if I would be able to afford the rent and utilities and what not. But, I am proud that I did it and wasn't evicted!! *Greg and I met in Aug of 2005*
July 2006 - July 2007 - Sean and I find a townhouse in Pasadena and move in together along with his best friend, Aaron. It wasn't that bad, living with my brother and we got along very well. Don't get me wrong, we had our moments but when thinking about it now, those moments could have been due to my pregnancy hormones.
August 2007 - Present - Greg and I move to Glen Burnie. Greg and I talked about moving in together the summer of 2006, before Sean and I moved to Pasadena, and it was talked about on a semi regular basis. We were planning on finding a place by this summer actually. The only hiccup was that my lease expired before his and we were trying to figure out how we could work things out - all the while we didn't know I was pregnant.
Maybe I'm the only one that thinks it's weird but thinking about the events that have occurred in my life over the past five years has been so... multifaceted; I can't think of a better word but it's just bizarre to me. Like, if I think about what I was doing this time in 2002 I am thinking about working at PRP and starting life with Adam, this time in 2003 - Still at PRP, working part time at Super Fresh and being a newlywed - this time 2004; still at PRP and having issues with Adam - this time in 2005; Met Greg a few days ago (Aug 20 to be exact), was working at PRP and looking for a part time job and having fun - this time in 2006; living with Sean and Aaron, quit PRP and Weis (the part time job I started in Oct 05), was working a new job and hating it but over all happy - and today; working a new job, have a nearly 8 month old baby, new friends, new car, and new relationship.
In any event, it's all what it is and will be.
So, I forgot to mention that Monday, the 20th, marked two years that Greg and I met. yeah, it's a girl thing to remember dates like that; bla bla bla... In all honesty, and I've told this to Greg many times, I thought Greg would never contact me after we met. I was so shy. But, to my surprise and pleasure, he contacted me within two days and thus began our continued friendship that involved into love. If you're wondering how Greg and I met it was online through Y!; He sent me a message on Y! Messenger and I was online and we began chatting and then met in person.

Patient Dr. for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been feeling an annoying 'twitch' on or from my bladder area. It is sometimes painful, but the twitch lasts maybe a sec, but is very frequent at all times of the day. There has been no change in urine color, odor, or frequency. There is no pain after the twitch ends. I don't know if this is something that will go away with time or if this is something that should be looked at. At the current time, I don't have insurance, but if it's urgent, I will set and appt.
A little over a month later I took a pregnancy test and the result was positive. Little did I know that the twitches were from Amelia. Funny how life works, huh?

Mother's Day 2007
Well, today is Mother's Day.
Today is my first Mother's Day...
I don't know how I feel. I'm not all that excited nor am I disappointed that I didn't have the 'Hallmark' Mother's Day, especially with this being my first. I did have a great weekend. Greg and I did a lot of things together and for me, that is what made my day special.
On Saturday, Amelia had her 4 month check-up. It went well. She also received 4 shots. The doc told up to start feeding her cereal around 5.5 months of age and that we will see him again when she is 6 months (July).
After the appointment, we, along with my brother, drove over to April and Brian's place so my brother could look at their air conditioner. Sean didn't have all his tools so he couldn't do a thorough inspection, but he said they either have a leak or need a new compressor. Always fun.
After the stop to Brian and Aprils, we went and got an oil change for Greg and then we were FINALLY on our way down to Nanjemoy. By now, it's 12pm and it's a long dive to Nanjemoy. The drive went well, practically no traffic. While in Waldorf, Amelia becomes fussy so we pull over to change and feed her. The place that we stopped at had two families of geese and baby geese. Greg took pictures and should upload them sometime this week onto his flickr account.
Here's a picture of me feeding Amelia in the car:
So, finally a little after 3, we arrive at Mom's. Grandma, George, Cousin Danny, and Aunt Becky and Rachel are already there. Not too long after Greg and I arrive, my cousin April and Clayton arrive. Hooray, we're all here! Except for Van, he's stuck in traffic from Rockville.
Amelia wasn't feeling so sociable on Saturday. I blame it on the heat and her shots. So, she spent a lot of time inside. But, here are a few pictures from Saturday at Mom's:
This is a picture of April, me, Mom and Amelia:
Clayton and Amelia:
April and Lucy (looks like Lucy is kissing Aprils Baby)"
There are more on my Flickr account.
Greg and I stay until about 8:30 and the drive home was good. We talked about Mother's Day and how I was feeling about it and during the drive there was a thunderstorm! Hooray! Our first decent thunderstorm of the season! While driving through Upper Marlborough to Bowie, the heaviest part of the storm, there was this awesome cloud to ground lightening bolt that was so freaking close we were looking for a fire! It was neat.
Greg and I arrive home around 10. Amelia is up so we decide to feed her and then she goes to bed not too long after. And, I am not too far behind her.
Today, Sunday, we wake up late, even Amelia. Amelia didn't eat until 10am! Greg and I talk about what to do today and we decide to go out for ice cream, then go to Lake Waterford Park and then run to the grocery store. Here are the pictures from todays outtings:
Yummy! Ice Cream at Bruster's:

So, there's my first Mother's Day in a nutshell.
It's now 11pm, it's hot and I want to take a shower and go to bed so that is where I am heading.

Mother's Day
This is going to be my first Mother's Day. Aprils too, though her baby isn't here, yet.
Mother's Day has changed for me, though not because I am now a Mother...
Mother's Day 2005: I was visiting my Mom in Nanjemoy. Adam had moved out of the apartment not even two weeks prior. A lot of adjustments were going on in my head. While at Moms, we had a little cook-out and my Aunt Ellie stopped by with my cousin Danny. She brought over crabs and Mom and I ate them (she and Danny had their fill at the campground and what Aunt Ellie brought were the left overs) while chatting and the sorts. Mom had just gotten a new cell phone and she was asking me to show her how to use it and set up the voicemail. Aunt Ellie (my Moms sister) decided to do the greeting for my Mom and it goes like this: "Hi! You've reached Sue. Leave your name and number and if I like ya, I'll call you back." My mom hated it and asked us to change it, but we never did.
href="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frye79/album?.dir=cbf4&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos"> The link are to the photos I took on Mother's Day 2005.
On December 5, my aunt passed away due to cancer. She wasn't aware she had cancer until October 2005 and died about 7 weeks later. My last memory of my Aunt Ellie, when she was full of life, was on Mother's Day 2005. And, to this day, we have not changed the voicemail greeting on my Mom's cell phone.
Aunt Ellie is Aprils Mom and now April is going to be a Mom without her Mom here (physically). I don't know what I would do without my Mom here with me; especially now that Amelia is here and knowing how bad my Mom wanted to be a Grandma.
